Lyrics
It was a typical Friday night
Setting the scene: a typical Friday night
Summertime in mid-July
Describing the time: summertime in mid-July
Yeah we were feeling right then walked in
Feeling good until encountering someone familiar
A familiar face I had to just look twice
Noticing someone familiar and being surprised
I should've never
Regret about a past action
Yeah we said goodbye
Saying goodbye
12 years later now we're 25
Reflecting on time passed; now both are 25
Was so crazy never felt so alive
Recalling a thrilling, crazy experience
Tried to tell you but I don't know why
Confusion about not expressing feelings
Do you remember no school nights in December
Recalling past memories of specific moments
You by my side couldn't get any better
Highlighting a great time with the person
When I should've been home at half-past eleven
Regretting not being home at a specific time
I just wanted seven minutes in heaven
Desire for intimacy and closeness (metaphorically, "seven minutes in heaven")
Seeing you walking down the hall
Noticing the person in a different context
I'd get a little stressed
Feeling anxious upon seeing the person
Try not to trip and fall
Being cautious to not embarrass oneself
My palms would start to sweat
Physical reaction to nervousness (sweaty palms)
Then came the homecoming ball
Referencing a formal dance event
I tried to ask you but I couldn't ever
Desire to ask the person something at the event but failing
Then we said goodbye
Repeating the goodbye, reflecting on time passed
12 years later now we're 25
Reflecting again on the passage of time
Was so crazy never felt so alive
Reiteration of a thrilling experience
Tried to tell you but I don't know why
Confusion about not expressing feelings
Do you remember no school nights in December
Recollection of past memories during December
You by my side couldn't get any better
Expressing happiness about being together
When I should've been home at half-past eleven
Regret for not being home at a specific time
I just wanted seven minutes in heaven
Desire for intimacy and closeness (metaphorically, "seven minutes in heaven")
I remember those nights I didn't tell you
Recalling past times when feelings were not disclosed
How I felt about us I could never
Difficulty expressing emotions about the relationship
When I should've been home at half-past eleven
Regret for not being home at a specific time
I just wanted seven minutes in heaven
Desire for intimacy and closeness (metaphorically, "seven minutes in heaven")
Frozen from across the room
Feeling stuck or frozen in a situation
It seems like it's just us two
Feeling a sense of connection with the person
I feel like I just might puke
Physical reaction to nervousness (nausea)
Keep it together she's getting closer to you
Keeping composure as the person approaches
Frozen from across the room
Feeling stuck or frozen in a situation
It seems like it's just us two
Feeling a sense of connection with the person
I feel like I just might puke
Physical reaction to nervousness (nausea)
Keep it together she's getting closer to you
Keeping composure as the person approaches
Do you remember no school nights in December
Recollection of past memories during December
You by my side couldn't get any better
Expressing happiness about being together
When I should've been home at half-past eleven
Regret for not being home at a specific time
I just wanted seven minutes in heaven
Desire for intimacy and closeness (metaphorically, "seven minutes in heaven")
I remember those nights I didn't tell you
Recalling past times when feelings were not disclosed
How I felt about us I could never
Difficulty expressing emotions about the relationship
When I should've been home at half-past eleven
Regret for not being home at a specific time
I just wanted seven minutes in heaven
Desire for intimacy and closeness (metaphorically, "seven minutes in heaven")
Seeing you walking down the hall
Noticing the person in a different context
I'd get a little stressed
Feeling anxious upon seeing the person
Try not to trip and fall
Being cautious to not embarrass oneself
My palms would start to sweat
Physical reaction to nervousness (sweaty palms)
I just wanted seven minutes in heaven
Desire for intimacy and closeness (metaphorically, "seven minutes in heaven")
